To enjoy the sport of paddling we need an efficient Forward Stroke. We want to use less energy, stay out longer, maybe go faster, not be sore. So, it makes sense that the Forward Stroke gets so much attention from students and coaches alike. Join Danny Mongno, with 30+ years of paddle sports coaching experience, as he breaks things down in a very easy to follow, step-by-step process. This is an interactive class, so be ready to participate and have fun.

Cold feet... cold hands... just plain cold. Sweaty...sunburnt. Neoprene vs. dry suit? Is it really a ladies fit, or is it just purple? This splash jacket looks a lot like my rain jacket? Nowhere in the World (seriously) will you see the variety of paddling clothing that you will at Canoecopia. But wow...it's a lot to digest. Take some time to relax, bring a snack or a beverage, and hang out with 21-year Canoecopia veteran Danny Mongno. In this open discussion, we will address everything above and then some and make sure we answer all your questions, even the weird ones. In the end we assure you, you will walk away with a better understanding of what to wear paddling, for any season.
